In the unity-gentoo overlay. At the moment the overlay packages are clashing the already unmasked gnome-3.8. It requires a little job to manage it. The ebuild for packagekit-base has a hard dependency on consolekit, without an option for systemd. This is because the last version of PackageKit in the tree is 0.7.4, which is more than a year older (was released in April 2012). If you use Unity, the DE by Canonical for Ubuntu, the last thing you want is systemd. Canonical/Ubuntu is pretty clear on the fact that they support Upstart, not systemd. I did not know that. Based on that gnome wants systemd and unity uses gnome stuff I thought that there is a strong relation between them. And lastly, why do you want/need PackageKit? It worked horribly with portage, last time I tried some years ago. Gnome wants that and I do not know why. Maybe I did not pay enough attention for the USE flag which pulls in it. It requires an action - just being agile for a moment not having the first coffee today. :S If you use GNOME you need to use systemd. Unity is a completely different beast (although it uses the same technologies behind the curtains), and systemd would be blocked by some Unity stuff, if I understand correctly. I switched back to consolekit to avoid the possible collisions. The first thing I want is the Unity system working properly. After that I'm going to ask the guys who manages the unity overlay about consolekit/systemd stuff. -- -- Csanyi Andras (Sayusi Ando) -- http://sayusi.hu -- http://facebook.com/andras.csanyi -- Trust in God and keep your gunpowder dry! - Cromwell

I was planning to wait for the devs to publish a conversion guide. As I said to András, you have the wiki: I looked at the wiki and fear I need a pre-wiki, that is the wiki seems to assume you know a fair amount about systemd, which I don't. For example, it seems that instead of /etc/init.d and /etc/runlevels we have services. After running emerge --changed-use --deep @world must I check that every entry previously in /etc/init.d now has an entry in /usr/lib/systemd/system? What do I do if there is no corresponding entry? Similarly, the wiki talks about some configuration files (e.g. /etc/hostname replacing /etc/conf.d/hostname). But what about all the other files in /etc/conf.d? Do I just copy them to /etc? In summary I would hope that we get an introductory document (a simple conversion guide) as a pre-read before the wiki. The problem is not the wiki, but my lack of the prerequisite knowledge.

Am 22.07.2013 23:35, schrieb FredL: Do you perhaps have NetworkManager or wicd installed? no, none of them, it is a very basic install, with only the minimum packages installed . I have checked at the init script and find a line in the depend section saying : after lo lo0 dbus but dbus is not yet installed, can this be the cause of my problem? so I have just installed dbus and add it to default runlevel and my net.* script are loaded correctly setting my static config, so every thing is fine now. But why do we need dbus in a very minimalistic system? I was thinking that it would be helpful in a full desktop environnement for automagically mounting device and things like that... Saying that I've just remenbered that I have selected the desktop profile instead of the default one, can this be why my init script need dbus for starting net iface? As Bruce did show: You don't need to have dbus installed for net.* to work. Also it did work, when you started net.* it manually, without having dbus installed, right? I don't know, what did start dhcp on your interfaces, you should check that. AFAIK your kernel does a automatic dhcp-configuration of your interfaces when you have set CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP. You could try to disable dbus and check, if your interfaces get up with dhcp again and then disable CONFIG_IP_PNP or all CONFIG_IP_PNP_*-options and check again. (If they where activated of course ;) ) For your net.* initscripts not starting automatically I don't have an idea other than maybe you forgot to add them to the runlevels right now, but that would not explain, why they do start after adding dbus...

I've been running swapless on 8GB of RAM for a number of years now with no issues.

Than mask everything else. You can find the ebuild in /var/db if it was removed from the tree already. And yes, this ebuild removing sucks - because nobody needs every single LO update... Äh sorry what? I not understand so really what you mean? I should delete the ebuild? But with next sync is back. Can you explain for totally stupid men :( :) Thank you for help and nice weekend.

Yes, what you have above means mask every version equal to and greater than app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.2; therefore, you have masked 4.1.0.2, so you must downgrade. Rather, at the present time use: =app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.3 That will mask every version equal to or greater than 4.1.0.3 -- Happy Penguin Computers ') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Two things changed today to help fix the problems: more gnome package updates were committed overnight, and I changed my make.profile from plain desktop to desktop/gentoo. I spent all day today fixing and working around problems, though. Mostly conflicting package slots, conflicting useflags, and two gnome packages that won't compile. I'm pooped, but gnome-shell is actually working now! Tomorrow: I start installing gnome-shell extensions :/ BTW, gnome-base/gnome-fallback doesn't work for me any longer, but there are recent gnome-shell extensions that do similar things. BTW #2, I had to start with a clean home directory with no gnome stuff left over from before the update, otherwise the loveable and very cuddly Oh No! Something has gone very wrong and you're now screwed icon pops up. I'll try to narrow down the guilty config files tomorrow
